A world where people coexist with intelligent dogs and cats sends for a vet to cope with a problem with intelligent fleas.
Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Not meant to be taken seriously, of course, this is a fun read. The conversations translated from "flea language," are consistently the funniest part, although the dog conversations are pretty good too.
The scenes with the cat aren't very funny. A few loose ends could be handled better. The local doctor who fails to return the armor just drops out, for example, and although a big deal is made of the difficulty of transferring from one ship to another in a space suit, nothing of note actually happens.
